I've never seen the Eagles lose to the Skins live. If that changes this weekend someone is going to pay.

Eagles Notes | Short is not fond of Skins' Sellers

Eagles Notes

The last two times Jason Short played against the Washington taterskins were not pleasant.

It was bad enough that he suffered broken legs on special-teams plays in those games, but the Eagles linebacker said he also had to endure an indignity when taterskins fullback Mike Sellers spat in his face.

"He spat in my face in two games," Short said before practice yesterday.

Two seasons ago at Washington, "he was mad because I threw him down on the ground and he started getting beat up and he looked like crap," Short said. "Who knows? I think he was mad because he was getting the bad end of the stick out there and he started playing dirty.

"He had three personal fouls in that game," Short said. "He had two on me, including when I broke my leg."

Play-by-play from that game showed that Short was flagged for a 15-yard face-mask penalty on the opening kickoff. Sellers was flagged for unnecessary roughness on Washington's first kickoff in that game and also received a second-quarter face-mask penalty. Sellers was flagged for unnecessary roughness again in the fourth quarter.

"I think we're going to tell the ref to watch him beforehand," Short said. "I know he's dirty."

Short said his season-ending leg injuries both came during collisions with Rock Cartwright, but he has no problem with the taterskins' reserve running back. It's the spitting incidents that bothered him.

"That's disrespect," Short said. "You don't do things like that."

It seems like the taterskins have a problem as a team with spitting on opposing players. Of course the tools on their MB will downplay this because they tried to deny that Taylor spit on Pittman even with the loogie visible on tape.

On an unrelated note, its weird how Short has broken his leg blocking Cartwright both times. Crazy.

Well, his name is "Rock" after all.

You people predicting the Eagles would win and would score 30+....

Have you looked at the weather forecast?

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yeah, its supposed to rain now. It wasn't when I predicted 31.

Eagles - 20
Skins - 13

Not really, when you consider that the taterskins are ranked 30th vs. the pass and have allowed a league-high 16 pass TDs this year. Of course the weather could change that a little. If Moss plays, the Skins might have a chance, but if not, it will hurt their O bad.  Cooley and Portis are thier only other real threats.

Not in Andy's eyes.

The Skins' pass ranking means more to him than any kind of hindering weather ever could.

   Shorts gonna wax somebody.  Awesome.

I think the Eagles win this game with McNabb picking on our corners. Can't say I agree with the people predicting Philly wins by 3 TDs....but I think they find a way to get the W.

Still not gonna make the playoffs tho...the Eagles needed to take advantage of their easy early schedule (by going like 6-2) if they wanted to reach the postseason. Their late November-December schedule is just too tough. Of course, the taterskins aren't going either this year....


I can't prove this but I think Matt Schobel might be the worst player in all of professional sports in this country.
